File:Noun Project Signature icon 619326 cc.svg	Territory ID and proposed name
	The Territory ID (from OpenGeofiction:Territories, e.g. AR123a) and proposed name of the country

AR001 - the Circuit of Melawan, Kitayana (part of a federation-state project that I've got in my mind for which I've already mapped at least one candidate city to duplicate into when I get to the phase of developing its mainland)

File:Noun Project Map icon 1463108.svg	Physical geography
	An overview of climate, topography and landscape of the country. With the exception of Beginner territories, you should always create a sketch map to illustrate & explain your plans. You can add a link to this (hosted on imgBB, Postimages or similar, but not imgur.com)

• climate - tropical all over w/ monsoons between late-May and mid-November each year
• topography - not gonna try to fix it bcuz it's already been mapped to a quality I can accept but anyway lemme describe it in simple terms: mountainous in the northern half + flat in the southern half ^_^
• landscapes - lush mounts of forest in the northeast + northwest that become somewhat more rugged closer to the middle - this becomes more wetland-ish in the southern half (especially closer to the coastline)
• phys geo sketch for this territory - here （￣︶￣）↗　

File:Invest - The Noun Project.svg	Human geography
	A brief description of the territory demographics, economic development, land occupation, infrastructure and mapping style

• demographics - a half-rural, half-urban permanent population of btwn. 500K and 1M
• economic development - similar to that of Thailand w/ the added bonus of heavily benefitting from tourism since late into the 1970s when it joined the Federation of Kitayanese Circuits (mainland yet to be mapped)
• land occupation + infrastructure - unevenly distributed within the territory w/ the south being more urban in infrastructure and habitation than the rural north
• mapping style - generally to be inspired by the IRL resort areas of Pattaya and Khao Yai (both in Thailand)

File:Noun Project languages icon 105908 cc.svg	History & culture
	A brief description of the intended culture and language

• history - indigenously inhabited by the Melawanese people since c. the 23rd century BCE w/ a century-long colonial period from the 1870s to the 1970s (similar to IRL HK and Macau) after which it joined the sovereign federation it's part of today
• culture + language - similar to that of the IRL Isaan region of Thailand + eastern Malaysia w/ an indigenous language similar to IRL Tagalog/Atayal as well as a good command of IRL English + Malay

	To support your request provide links to areas of OGF mapping which showcase your mapping skill. Mapping relevant to the requested theme & geography is especially useful.
	The {{coord}}, {{node}}, {{relation}} or {{scalehelper}} templates can optionally be used to link to the OGF map - they result in nicely formatted links. Or you can paste in a URL.

Ishiyama city - an incomplete metropolitan city project intended for copying later w/ a pretty mountainous topography + some lush forest landscapes mixed in a way similar to this territory (ik it's still obviously WIP but... at least having it on hand's better than having nothing to prove for this section (✿◠‿◠))
